MR T. MACKENZIE ON THE FROZEN MEAT TRADE.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—l have read Mr Mackenzie's speech as recorded in “Hansaid,” in Avhieh he attacks, in Avords which no newspaper dare publish, certain gentlemen in England in connection Avith -the. insurance part of the business. He then goes on to attack my company and myself, and in doing so he says ho has a slight grievance' against me. Why 1 know not, unless, perhaps,'because I did not choose to publicly defend my conipanv and myself against ins libellous attacks of last year. Mr Mackenzie says the House of EcprcaraitatiA'-fis is tho, proper place in which to make his statements ; my directors and myself think differently, and in -the meantime are quite prepared to reiy cn the eld proverb that “All things come to those who Avait.” I can,, hoAvever, assure the public, our clients and shareholders, that the company’s business continues, and that avg- continue also to grade upwards of half a milt ton. sheep and lambs yearly , to entire satisfaction of ail concerned, and, moreover, that tho company holds an unique -position, in that its clients cam sell their meat c.i.f. on our factory certificate, AA'ithout the arbitration clause.—l am, etc,, F.
